Geebung RSL Remembrance Day Service 2018

Friday, 9th November 2018 – by Michael Seabrook

This Sunday 11th November marks the 100th anniversary since the signing of the Armistice in 1918 which ended the First World War. With the current ongoing construction of ANZAC Square in Brisbane CBD – which is the pinnacle for ANZAC commemorations in Brisbane – now running over the scheduled time, there is now a larger push to urge Southeast Queensland attendees to attend ceremonies at their local RSL or war memorial.

Geebung RSL will be hosting a memorial service on Sunday 11 November from 10:30am until 11:25am to mark the centenary of the signing of the Armistice. Originally opened as a memorial hall in October 1923, the Geebung Memorial Hall was officially dedicated as an RSL in April 1945, when it was dedicated as the Geebung-Zillmere RSL Sub Branch. In 1992 the Geebung Zillmere RSL merged with the Aspley Bald-Hills RSL. The Geebung RSL has since become the local host for ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services.
